Recommended Posts

This 40 gallon reef tank shows a mimic tang, various soft and hard corals. This aquarium has been established for over 6 years.

 

The tank is 100% Marine Environment dual phase formula. 10% water changes are performed weekly. No additives or supplements are used.

 

The tank is supported with a skimmer that feeds a trickle filter that uses super BI OX. The filter medium is cleaned once a month with water taken out during routine water changes.

 

Lighting was originally multiple flourscent lamps. Currently 185 watts with PC's are employed. Main color temperature is 6000K on timers from 7 AM to 11 PM. Blue (actinic type) PC's at 420 nanometers are on periodic timers from 10 AM to 6 PM.

 

Photo made with a Nikon F, 50 mm f:1.4 Auto Nikkor lens. Exposure 1/60th (x synch) at f:5.6. ISO Kodacolor film.

What type of coral is that one in the top center? It looks like a square, and it has bottle-shaped polyps.

 

Also, I think your bristle worms are spelling some words in the bottom right hand corner. How did you train them to do that?
